Story Highlights

NEW YORK – Most of the jokes told at Friday's Friar's Club roast of Jack Black were far too filthy for publication.

But a few did manage to only be moderately offensive.

"If you don't know what fertilizer is, just watch Jack Black's last two movies," said comic Bob Saget, who went on to deliver a Kim Kardashian sex joke that stunned the audience while presiding as master of ceremonies.

The show-stealer was Black's School of Rock co-star Sarah Silverman, who took legendary comic Jerry Lewis to task for his comments that women don't make good comedians. "Jerry, France called. The last person who thinks you're funny just died," she said on stage, referring to the Legion of Honor medal awarded to Lewis by that country in 2006. "Jerry doesn't think women are funny and nobody thinks Jerry is funny."

Black, for his part, pretended to flee the stage and had security drag him back on.

Before the event, held at the midtown Hilton, Black didn't seem too nervous. "Right now I feel like, let it rip. I'm made of cement. But I'm sure I'm wrong," said Black.

The dad of two boys isn't a merry prankster at home. "I can bring the discipline as well. Fifteen more minutes of screen time and that's it. I've said that a lot. I put on the alarm," he says.

As for roast-master Saget, "I don't want to do anything that hurts somebody too much," he said. "You go for the gutter and the gut."

Some relatively clean highlights from the roast:

Silverman: "Jack is a really shy guy. He really prefers to be left alone. Which is why he made Nacho Libre. John Mayer wrote one of his most famous songs about Jack Black: Your Body Needs a Wonderbra."

Oliver Platt: "I'm not a comedian. I hate it when these things get mean. I would never do something like call Sarah Silverman an (expletive)."

Saget: "There's no one like Jack Black. I'm sorry, I read that wrong. What I meant was, no one likes Jack Black."
